What is a Coaching Intervention?
A Coaching Intervention is when you step into a coaching activity to either highlight something that was done well or to fix something you would like to see done better.
Your Coaching Intervention will usually be related to your session topic or one of your key session objectives.

- Hear it
- See it
- Do it
